Refuse at anything to go on with God
Romans 6:16-23
16 Don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone
to obey him as slaves, you are slaves to the one whom you obey—whether you are
slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to
righteousness?
17 But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to
sin, you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were
entrusted.
18 You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to
righteousness.
19 I put this in human terms because you are weak in your
natural selves. Just as you used to offer the parts of your body in slavery to
impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer them in slavery to
righteousness leading to holiness.
20 When you were slaves to sin, you were free from the
control of righteousness.
21 What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you
are now ashamed of? Those things result in death!
22 But now that you have been set free from sin and have
become slaves to God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is
eternal life.
23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is
eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Provoke God to wrath
Deuteronomy 32:15-20
15 Jeshurun grew fat and kicked; filled with food, he became
heavy and sleek. He abandoned the God who made him and rejected the Rock his
Savior.
16 They made him jealous with their foreign gods and angered
him with their detestable idols.
17 They sacrificed to demons, which are not God— gods they
had not known, gods that recently appeared, gods your fathers did not fear.
18 You deserted the Rock, who fathered you; you forgot the
God who gave you birth.
19 The LORD saw this and rejected them because he was angered
by his sons and daughters.
20 “I will hide my face from them,” he said, “And see what
their end will be; for they are a perverse generation, children who are
unfaithful.

Be destroyed of God if they turn away from Him
Numbers 32:15
If you turn away from following him, he will again leave all
this people in the desert, and you will be the cause of their destruction.”
85)
Turn their hearts away from God and be cut off in sin
Deuteronomy 30:17-20
17 But if your heart turns away and you are not obedient, and
if you are drawn away to bow down to other gods and worship them,
18 I declare to you this day that you will certainly be
destroyed. You will not live long in the land you are crossing the Jordan to
enter and possess.
19 This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses
against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses.
Now choose life, so that you and your children may live
20 and that you may love the LORD your God, listen to his
voice, and hold fast to him. For the LORD is your life, and he will give you
many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob.
